FEATURED SHORT PLAY LAB EVENTS

Written by Michael Zegans; Music by: Beck Zegans. Cast: Katie North, Suzanne Dudley, John Eboli, Molly Zegans, Gerami Seitzman.


Former Fan by Louise Schwarz Directed by Timmy Gage. Starring Kent Benwell as Bennie, Tara Nicole Murphy as Edie, and Lou Wingfield as Cass. A starry-eyed (albeit unpaid) intern is tasked by her boss, a once-powerful talent manager, to carry out a deceptive scheme to prevent the departure of their single remaining celebrity client. The client's main claim to fame is her

deceased husband's far brighter stardom, and the chip on her own desperate shoulder brings some surprises to their bonkers encounter..


Free Lunch by Ap Hello Inspired by a conversation between friends about medical bills, Free Lunch asks: why pay them?


Holy Water From Ireland by Dan Walsh At breakfast after mass, a mother and son discuss an estranged relationship. The mother and son are both locked in but the remedy is Holy Water from Ireland.


Ice Break by Adam Petrosino Directed by Broadway Choreographer and Director Chase Brock. Performed by actors Adam Petrosino as Camden and Andrew Sisti as Joshua. Stage managed by Taylor Crisera. A phone call between two estranged friends, Camden and Joshua. Sparked by Camden's new understanding of his sexuality, the two revisit long-buried emotions, memories, and confront the fracture of their friendship. In a tight, quiet, tense conversation, staged like a dance between the two, the former friends trace the fragile line between their ruptured past and the possibility of their reconnection. Developed with a MADarts Residency at the Modern Accord Depot in Accord, New York.


Let It Storm by Laura Archer Directed by Laura Archer. A young couple, Melissa & Marjorie, stuck on an island in Maine during an oncoming storm, take their relationship to the next level. Tai Ortiz will be playing Melissa. Jean Gordon will be playing Marjorie.

Robots by Pat Dunn Dr. D is a scientist who has always wanted a Dad, so he decides to build TWO dads that are robots. Little does he know that the robots are here to get down and dirty in secret acts of love through languages Dr. D can't understand, to getting freaky under the sheets - love is in the air for everyone!


That’s Not Funny by John Schoneboom Directed by Ali Januzzi; with Jean Gordon and Leah Temple Lang. The good news is that two desperate survivors have finally received their supply drop. The bad news is it dropped right on their friend.
